E-reader

We were mighty impressed by the reMarkarble 2 e-note tablet for our review in 2020, but the E Ink world has been moving to color in the years since. Now the Norwegian company has joined the productivity party with the 11.8-inch Paper Pro.

While E Ink readers and tablets are great for long-battery, eye-friendly consumption of text in grayscale, color performance can be somewhat disappointing. Taiwan's Hannspree has introduced a paper-like e-note that aims to do better.

The PocketBook Eo color E Ink e-note announced back in April is now available. We've spent the last few weeks being kinder to our eyes while makes notes, reading and planning – and have even taken the odd photo. Let's have a closer look.

Onyx International has launched a new series of lightweight E Ink devices as part of its Boox line, starting with an ultra-thin monochrome 10.3-inch ePaper notepad that saves paper (and your eyes) plus a color e-reader.

Following the launch of its first e-note last year, PocketBook has now added a color E Ink model. The 10.3-inch Eo is built around Kaleido 3 technology, and sports a built-in camera, octa-core processing and dual speakers.

Back in October, Onyx International announced a pair of 10-inch color ePaper tablets called the Boox Tab Ultra C Pro and the Note Air3 C. Recognizing that not everyone wants color E Ink, the company has now launched the monochrome Note Air3.

Back in 2021, Swiss e-reader manufacturer PocketBook was among the first to release a device built around E Ink's Kaleido Plus color technology. Now the company has updated the InkPad Color with a higher-resolution color E Ink screen.

Onyx International has announced two additions to its 10-inch color ePaper tablet lineup. The Boox Note Air3 C shapes up as an Android reading and writing slate, while the Boox Tab Ultra C Pro is a productivity workhorse that's easy on the eyes.

Swiss e-reader maker PocketBook has announced its first e-note, a tablet-sized E Ink jotter called the InkPad X Pro that ships with a Wacom stylus, runs Android for third-party apps and boasts a month's worth of battery power.

China's Bigme, which was recently the first to launch with E Ink's Gallery 3 color ePaper technology, has announced a follow up to its S6 Color enote that comes with a Kaleido 3 display and a snappy 12-fps refresh rate.

If you're a really avid reader, you may resent the visual distractions that keep you from becoming thoroughly immersed in a book. That's where the Sol Reader comes in, as it fills your vision with text.

After launching a 10-inch color E Ink tablet back in April, Onyx International has now introduced a baby brother in the shape of the Boox Tab Mini C – a Qualcomm-powered ePaper pocket computer with "performance on par with traditional tablets."
